From the Archive - Our ATP: DiS does Weekend Two, finds that not all men with a cape can fly...
Laura Marling
love.
wow
I read that as Lene Marlin.
Her first album wasn't bad
although I haven't heard it in about 4 years...maybe I should take that back.
I don't know how new he is
But check out Benjamin Shaw
Also you could check my mate Andrew
It's not actually acoustic but it has a lot of the same vibes:

GOSSAMER ALBATROSS
love.
Codename Sparrow
/jag
amen to dat
stunning live
A friend I would recommend... Superman Revenge Squad.
Ben, previously of Nosferatu D2 & Tempertwig. Now with his own solo ascoutic thing.
Some good quality live recordings can be downloaded here, http://www.supermanrevengesquad.com/media/LiveatGreenDragon/
eugene mcguinness
Mathew Sawyer
...and a second for Eugene McGuinness.
Second for Mathew Sawyer
and third for Eugene McGuinness
the Sleeping Years
Orion Rigel Dommisse
Nathan Greenwood
and Peter Lyons
Laura Marling and Ana Silvera
are both marvellous.
Ana has just done some dates with Antony and the Johnsons crew in NY - I'm hoping there'll be some recording out of that.
And Laura Groves is also great.
Not forgetting
CAMILLE!!!
^Yeah!!!
Good to see some more Camille love! She's incredible, but I still haven't got into Music Hole, Le Fil is still by far the best. The Grauniad/Observer seem to be obsessed with her at the moment...not that I'm complaining.
i really like jaymay
saw support beirut in manchester and got her album which came out last week.
1. although not ground breaking the music and her lyrics are excellent
2. vocally she sounds like feist but better
3. shes hot
Jaymay
I saw her supporting Laura Veirs a couple of months back. I see her album is out and I might just buy it. I agree with computerman5 - not groundbreaking but good. She was great live as well.
Cate Le Bon
Is nice.
I don't know how knew she is... she's more or less new to me though.
http://www.myspace.com/catelebon
'o am gariad' is ace, the other two on there aren't quite so good. I love just about any welsh language stuff though.
me....
...im new.... im acoustic.... im a singer/songwriter.
so me
www.myspace.com/stickboyuk
x
Cate Le Bon
good call! Shes got a lovely welsh voice. And her stuff in Welsh is ace! I think "O Am.." is a cover isn't it?
check this geezer out
http://www.myspace.com/brokenglasseye
he isnt very original at the moment, but he will morph into something very special soon i predict.
Laura Hocking
www.myspace.com/laurahocking
www.myspace.com/leonielauder
www.myspace.com/ultrazoom
Twelve downloadable songs of joy.
As recommended by Kotki Dwa, Sky Larkin, and me. And nobody else it seems - so get involved - wonderful voice, really clever lyrics, with jolly and moody tunes alike.
Better than Laura Marling - official.
here
www.myspace.com/panicattract
sweet baboo
www.myspace.com/sweetbabootheband
he's only left two (old) songs up there at the moment, and he's away in America playing bass for Euros Childs. but when he comes back he will finally finish his album, or i will kill him. it's awesome.
also, cate le bon is ace.
sam huxley is alright..
jag
www.myspace.com/samhuxley
no
I like
Jacob Golden
http://www.myspace.com/themusicofjacobgolden
Jesca Hoop
http://www.myspace.com/jescahoop
Chris Turpin
is really quite good as well
http://www.myspace.com/littlebigvoiceturpin
Supporting him in Bath on Thursday, got an incredible voice an his guitar playing is top notch as well.
Euegene McGuinness
Such a loverly mini album he gave us :D
Nic Dawson Kelly
Beck Goldsmith
is ace!
www.beckgoldsmith.co.uk
richard allen
check out this fella, good lirics, nice stuff enjoy...
http://www.myspace.com/richardallenmusic
Eugene McGuinness
is brilliant.
I think Laura Marling is a bit dull, meself.
this guy
www.myspace.com/russelljoslinesquire
bit like Two Gallants. Brilliantly intense and makes probably the loudest noise out of an acoustic guitar I've heard.
though saying that
he's changed all the songs on his bloody myspace and now that
third song down on there is the best
I'm really enjoying My First Tooth
www.myspace.com/myfirsttooth
He's on tour with sam isaac at the moment and I reckon he's better, quite a lot better.
My First Tooth
Hello we're coming back to hereford on the 19th dec to play at the jailhouse. you are nice xx
These guys
set up this page whilst they were still acoustic.
www.myspace.com/huntspillriver
Seem like my kind of guys....
But...!
However, Sam is really freakin' good. Like, awesome. That touring troubador is a lovely guy and definitely worth listening to. Again and again. And again.
19th?
or 16th? that's the monosound snowball my band Gossamer Albatross is playing at. along with sam isaac, held by hands and stuff.
should be a wicked show.
You are right
it is the 16th in hereford. I am totally, totally wrong. I look forward to playing with you guys :)
Soph x
.
yep, alphabet backwards
www.myspace.com/alphabetbackwards
totally biased of course, but don't let that put you off.
I've had an album by
Ryan O'Reilly for ages without listening to it but I've had it on all day today and believe it's pretty good.
http://www.myspace.com/ryanoreilly
Seriously seriously seriously good
My Kappa Roots
http://www.myspace.com/mykapparootsmusic
I can't stop listening to Summer You Dancer.
These boys
James Severy
his band stuff here:
http://www.myspace.com/jamessevery
his acoustic stuff is here:
http://www.myspace.com/drugfrenzyatcircuscircus
Rory McVicar
http://www.myspace.com/rorymcvicar
check out my ex-bandmate
www.myspace.com/simonjcurd
He's like a brummie version of John K. Samson.
um i think everyone is forgeting...
'House of Brothers'
very good
The Clock And The Moon
www.myspace.com/theclockandthemoon.
"THE CLOCK AND THE MOON are a pair of sweet young things full of enthusiasm and talent and ideas, focussed through a pair of acoustic guitars and voices and harmonies."
Nora Soppy
and William Wet are two names to watch.
jay jay pistolet
yeah
I agree with Laura Marling, Saw her at glastonbury and then got her album. Her keyboard player is called Pete Roe, he also has an album out. Phil King is great too, I saw him in London last week and bought his album at the gig.
laura marling
is really good, her band is amazing too
Emmy the Great
Liam Frost
Dav Ford
and another vote for Eugene McGuiness
emmy the great
thom stone, orangedrink lemondrink, gossamer albatross, laura marling
Laura Gibson
The new songs I heard her do live OWN. The first album is great, too. http://www.myspace.com/lauragibson
sometimes acoustic
and obviously good.
erm.
www.myspace.com/samhuxley
No one gonna say
Johnny Flynn?
'A Larum' is fantastic.
Paul Marshall
http://www.myspace.com/paulmarshallyeah,
ex concentration champ man gone solo, and the ex meet me in st louis vocalist acoustic side project shoes and socks off.
http://www.myspace.com/shoesandsocksoff
Mirah
Not new; just new to me. Sings like an early Liz Phair, Portland OR coffeehouse sound, has connections with Microphone PhilE.
Jonny Hinton
I found him on Last Fm, he writes really lovely stuff.
http://www.last.fm/music/Jonny+Hinton
Agree with Gossamer Albatross
the tracks I heard on Myspace are brilliant. Also, she's not new, but Kaki King - read the review of her new album on the left.
<3
Love.
